moron or "pea brain"

This sign is commonly understood to mean "pea
brain."
Note: it is VERY similar to the sign for
GOVERNMENT. But there are some small differences. There sign
for pea brain makes contact, comes off the head, twists, and then makes
contact again. The sign for "government" draws a circle in the air and
then makes contact with the forehead.
(ASL researchers suspect there may be possible connections between
the sign for "pea brain" and the sign for "governor." I'll leave you to draw
your own conclusions.
